To Tax Realities (flriTTOTtS VOTE: Tht followhw i imiml In 1h Mw 12ft dMii of Mil Wftukec Journal.) It is now generally admitted by the Republicans that the budget deficit for the current fiscal year, despite a nearly $1,000,000,000 rlrnn in vrwnrfitureS. Will be larger than predicted by President Truman. It will be ?v,suu,uuu,uuu instead of $5,900,000,000, because of a tremendous drop in estimated receipts. It is also being generally ad mitted that it will be impossible to balance the budget for fiscal 1954, even if all taxes are kept as now, though it will be possible substan tially to cut the deficit as esti mated by Truman. The combined deficit for the two years, accord ing to nresent calculations, will be a little more than 13 billions instead of a little less than 16. Only Secretary of the Treasury Humnhrev seems more optimistic. The Republicans, generally, admit that we must continue deficit financing and present taxes and that we must Talse the present $275,000,000,000 limit on the national debt.

I More than S00 students staged a demonstration last month on the ; streets of Havana in protest against the defacing of a monu iment.
